Check your systems when you trade them in?


Dunno if this is the right place.

why wouldn't they check your system? they got to know if they are being ripped off or not. I hear sometimes workers take in broken systems but it probably isn't wise to take a broken one in.

I believe they're supposed to check all console trade-ins to ensure they work prior to accepting them, but I can tell you from experience that not all clerks do this. You might get lucky with a bad system on occasion, but as a general rule, they're usually pretty consistent in checking.

Yes, they do they will check all systems, for a PS2 they check to see if DVD and bluback disk work in the system. I think if a system does not work they may buy it back for $25 or $35

They take down that information in case something is stolen and they have a way to track down that person

They are supposed to check the systems, but as it was stated above, you may come across a lazy clerk that takes it in without checking.

I think he is saying they take your name and address down so they have a way to find you if you trade them a stolen system. (If you stole a PS2 and traded it into them, they'd have a way to find you...)

So as long as it plays DVDs/bludiscs they will take it? Because the memory card and second controller ports don't work.

I would think so. Most places wouldn't plug in a memory card, or a second controller. You should be fine.
